Behesht Restaurant is frequently praised for authentic Iranian flavors, generous portions, and a warm traditional atmosphere with tender kebabs and fragrant rice, and service that feels welcoming. Many reviews call it a standout Persian spot in Montreal and appreciate extras like tea after the meal. Yet experiences vary, with some dishes described as not fresh or overly salty, and others noting long waits, crowded spaces, or gaps in service and cleanliness. There are occasional complaints about catering and takeout issues, flies or ventilation problems, and inconsistent quality. Overall Behesht Restaurant is seen as a top option for Persian cuisine in Montreal, offering strong food and ambiance, but guests should expect variability and possible peak hour delays.
I highly recommend this Persian restaurant. The food is delicious, fresh, clean, & clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The atmosphere is beautiful, well-organized, & very pleasant, & the staff are polite & respectful.
The Koobideh kebab & Chenjekebab (grilled lamb chunks) are always our go-to choices-they're incredibly tasty, juicy, & made with great-quality meat. This place is a perfect option for a date night or for dining with friends & family.
Wishing you continued success.
Je recommande vraiment ce restaurant. On y mange très bien : les plats sont savoureux, frais & bien préparés, & on sent que la qualité est au rendez-vous. Le cadre est agréable, propre & bien organisé, & l'équipe est toujours souriante & respectueuse.
À chaque fois, on prend le kebab koobideh & le kebab chenjeh (morceaux d'agneau grillés) : c'est super bon, bien juteux, & la viande est de très bonne qualité. C'est une adresse parfaite pour un dîner à deux, mais aussi pour partager un bon repas avec des amis ou en famille.
On reviendra avec plaisir. Merci & bonne continuation !
In my opinion, this is the best Iranian restaurant in Montreal right now. I tried the Toranj Platter, which was delicious, followed by their Napoleon pastry & tea-it was the perfect combination. The food quality is consistent, & the staff are incredibly friendly & welcoming. If you're looking for authentic Persian flavors & a warm atmosphere, this is definitely the place to go.

I went to Behesht Restaurant on Thursday night after quite a while The service was good the rice was great & the marinated olives were excellent
I ordered koobideh & it was even better than usual I'd had it before but that night it was absolutely amazing I truly recommend that everyone go & try the koobideh
J'avais déjà réservé une table pour sept personnes. Tout était en ordre au moment de l'arrivée.
Notre serveur s'appelait Parsa, il était très poli & compétent.
J'ai eu diverses commandes. Mais à mon avis, Kal Kebab, le Barg & le Kase Kebab étaient les meilleurs de tous.
Après longtemps, un restaurant iranien de qualité a été trouvé au Québec.
Merci à vous
Amazing & delicious food. Quick service, not too long wait for food.
Young man was the host helping us get a table & he was very polite & kind helping accommodate our stroller & baby.
We went there with family, the place is beautiful but so small place, they cant accommodate many people. Staff are not professional, the price are extra.
We ask for a place for 3 people they give us a couple dining.

We were a family of three people in the restaurant, even though they had lots of space & free tables but they forced us to stay in a very small table in order to keep the other tables for other people who may come to the restaurant. We respectfully asked them to give us a bigger space but they said that all other tables are reserved which is a big lie. It is a place where you should expect these shameless behavior & unprofessional service from this community. I would never ever recommend this place.
The food was great, very good atmosphere. I enjoyed every single bites of the delicious beef kebabs & dessert. This is the best Persian restaurant to try in Montreal. Really worth the price.
Great food & service. The yogurt garlic appetizer was great. You can tell most of the food is cooked on a charcoal BBQ. I've been here multiple times. It's great to share a plate of different kebabs with friends. The service team speak French, English & Farsi very well.
Le staff est super gentil & le service est top! L'ambiance est traditionnelle & pleine de nostalgie iranienne. Les kebabs sont hyper bons & juteux. Les desserts sont super variés & délicieux!

One of the best restaurants in Montreal, offering a wide variety of delicious food, exquisite decor, & Iranian antiques. The staff are incredibly respectful, always smiling, & fully prepared to serve ?customers. I highly recommend trying it.
This was the worst kebab I've ever tried. It was tasteless & extremely fatty, & it wasn't even cooked properly. The rice was also disappointing. We ordered both barg & koobideh, & both were a complete disaster.
C'était la première fois que nous allions dans ce restaurant en famille. La nourriture nous a beaucoup plu, c'était très délicieux ! La viande était tout simplement excellente ! Un grand merci.
